When I first started my Bikram Yoga Challenge I was 100 percent confident that I would finish it. And Saturday, after being over 20 days into the 60 day challenge, I thought about giving up.
Friday I ended up taking the day off because I spent most of the day in Austin with my family for my little brothers Birthday. Before heading to yoga Saturday I almost talked myself out of finishing. I can't even put into words the "mental sparring" that was going on in my head in favor of either side. I did go, and HATED class. I was angry about class again again, the second time thus far in my yoga challenge. Now going Sunday was the deal breaker..... I went, and had an AMAZING class!
After another great class this morning I think back to how I felt this weekend and laugh. I think this yoga challenge is a great reflection on my everyday life. Life is a challenge; it's tough work and if I give up or do not try my hardest than I am cheating myself. This challenge is teaching me more about myself and areas that I need to grow, in ways I never thought possible.
Its amazing what setting a goal can do.
